Don’t telephone: write as directed.
Q. How are cracklings prepared for food?
A. Cook the rinds in a large kettle over a medium fire. The kettle should be covered until the fat has cooked out. Then uncover while the rinds brown. Remove from the kettle and drain.
Q. Should I continue to use “junior” on my cards after my father’s death? My mother is still
living, and of course, she bears the same name as my wife.
A. This is somewhat a matter of personal taste but strict etiquette requires the dropping of the suffix “junior” and your mother becomes either Mrs. John Smith, senior, or, preferably, simply Mrs. Smith.
Q. Are twins and triplets usually smaller at birth than single children?
A. Although they are often less fully developed at birth, twins and triplets measured at 6 years of age do not usually show any appreciable retardation of growth.
